Reinstall from scratch. It's the easiest method to ensure you don't have trouble in the future. Also, stop screwing around with things you don't understand unless you have a good backup strategy first.

...use the reclaimed desk space for something far more useful than a monitor stand. ahem.... More people should use desk mounts for monitor(s). They're so nice for freeing up desk space, especially when you start getting into >1 monitor. This. Mounting my monitor to the desk/wall was the best decis...

I run a 40" 4K for the best of both worlds. I've had a 40"+ monitor for over a decade now - I don't think I could go back if I tried. Once you get used to the size it's just so much easier on the eyes for long coding or gaming sessions.

I am enjoying using the Highlander 'Mech. It seems like the mission where you get this 'Mech, there was a bug. The story mission made me play through 2 fights and I could not save in the middle. It made for a late Saturday night. I have one LRM mech (currently a Thunderbolt with LRM-15 and LRM-20)....

I like my current sound card because it has an optical out, which makes connection to my receiver easy. But, I think I can still pull it off since I'm pretty sure my monitor has an optical out, too. I'm just not sure which would sound better, the board sound or the Radeon. Anyone ever tried both? I...

One thing that surprised me that I did not previously know is that Radeons also have sound hardware, too. Is it any good? I've not heard much about it. I'm guessing it's comparable to on-board audio? Someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought Graphic card audio, was basically just a pass...

Try your onboard sound. If the popping stops, you have your culprit. If you have to, remove the sound card entirely to bs absolutely sure you're isolating its influence. This, stop trying anything else and remove the sound card from the equation first. Onboard audio is a lot better than it used to ...

I just did one mission (I have 3 75ton Orions and 1 90ton Hunchback) where there were 2 Shrek PPC vehicles, 2 75ton Orions and 3 Assault Mech's. I died so I reloaded and there were 2 PPC vehicles, 1 Orion and 4 65ton Mech's this time. I cleaned that up. The randomness certainly adds to the challeng...

I have had some good results using "Precision Strike". In the beginning I was ignoring how morale abilities worked. *FAIL* That, and the evasion system. I've learned it well over the course of playing but the tutorial is sorely lacking in explaining UI elements. Sniping off legs is incred...

I ended up getting a Best Buy easystore 8TB for $149 (which oddly enough had a WD Red inside), and it's almost entirely quiet. There IS a seeking sound every 5 seconds or so, but you have to really be paying attention, and it's only audible outside the case anyway. New problem now... these 8TB seem...

The speed of your mech is governed by the initial speed of that model and then by how many jump jets you have mounted. More jump jets = more speed, even on the ground. Wait...what? That's annoying. I don't recall that being in the ruleset I used to play by at least, but my memory is fuzzed by 20 ye...

I'm somewhat annoyed by the hardpoints for various weapons, but it does make sense given the timeframe the game takes place in. I hope they add an expansion or something moving forward that adds back Omnitech mechs. The limitations do require you to be a bit more careful with how you build out your ...

What's interesting is there doesn't seem to be a reliable plus low powered/noise drive, at least at 8TB. All of the HGST's for example are 7200RPM, and WD Red and others are a combination of noisy and somewhat unreliable... at least from what I've read from reviews. The one type of drive that's got...

Well, he says 150-170 at the start and 150 at the end, so I'm assuming there was some slowdown. Sure, but HDDs (especially small modern ones) don't have crazy short-stroked designs. If I were a betting man I'd say it's the enclosure, and the drive is capable of a lot more (like 200+) on the outside...

I came here to say 'short-stroked' too. Even in a 50% short-stroke design, he'd see more falloff on the inner tracks. It's likely the controller in the enclosure that's rate-limiting him. A quick random access test (the one that sweeps the LBAs in HDTune) will prove this out both in the increase in...

Ah, I wonder if you're interface limited in the external enclosure - that would certainly cover this type of behavior. It wouldn't be the first time the enclosure itself was limited to some speed that was significantly lower than the drive itself was capable of. Does the random-access test in HDTune...

Modern HDDs can run at upwards of 250 MB/s depending on the model, so the increase in speed isn't terribly unsurprising. I'd be surprised if the speeds really didn't fall off over the breadth of the platter, though, since that's just a fundamental design limitation. Can you run something like HDTune...

Wish I did not because I would love to try that 32 inch CHG70. If it was 4K I would buy it in a heartbeat! It actually does 4K over HDMI...they don't acknowledge the functionality anywhere. I assume there's a reason, but hell if I know what. Are you sure that's 4K at a reasonable refresh rate? I've...

Something tells me you probably take the lead in precision timing requirements 'round here. Not me personally, but there are many very interested in precision timing of particular things within throwing range. :P Realistically, the standard clock sources on anything modern are far more precise (and...
